Abstract

A computer system has at least one indication light, an application, an operating system (OS), a basic input/output system (BIOS) and a light controller. In response to an event of the application program, an application programming interface (API) of the operating system transmits a light indication to the operating system. In response to the light indication, an instrumentation of the operating system transmits a control command to the BIOS. In response to the control command, the BIOS transmits a light command to the light controller. The light controller controls the at least one indicator light to emit light in a predetermined manner according to the light command.
